Wyoming Dealing With Eerie UFO Problem Being Described As ‘New Normal’

According to a local Wyoming sheriff’s office, unidentified flying objects (UFOs) continue to gather at high altitudes above the Red Desert and the Jim Bridger Power Plant in Sweetwater County.

Sheriff John Grossnickle of Sweetwater County personally observed the drone-resembling aerial objects, according to his spokesperson Jason Mower who informed the Cowboy State Daily of the information.

Mower noted that this represents 13 months of illuminated objects resembling drones assembling in groups, frequently appearing in organized patterns, above the Red Desert and the power plant. He further mentioned that their extreme altitude makes them impossible to target or bring down from ground level. (RELATED: Triangular UFO Flies Over Orizaba, Mexico, In Eerie Video)

“We’ve worked with everybody,” said Mower to the Cowboy State Daily. “We’ve done everything we can to figure out what they are, and nobody wants to give us any answers.”

According to Mower, the sheriff accompanied Wyoming U.S. House Rep. Harriet Hageman to view the aerial objects, and she personally witnessed them.

Mower explained that the occurrences have become so widespread, with any prospect of resolving them appearing so unlikely, that residents have largely ceased notifying the sheriff’s office about them.

Mower labels the objects “drones” and “unidentified flying objects,” pointing out that they operate at altitudes of thousands of feet. He went on to explain that their movements resemble those of drones, yet their true nature continues to elude explanation.

“It’s like the new normal,” said Mower to the Cowboy State Daily.

Mower added that, to date, the objects have not caused any harm.

“It’s like this phenomenon that continues to happen, but it’s not causing any, you know, issues that we have to deal with — other than the presence of them,” Mower said while speaking with the Cowboy State Daily.

Mower stated that if the objects ever present an immediate threat, “rest assured … we’ll certainly act accordingly.”

Mower indicated that, for the time being, in the absence of any explanations or prospects for obtaining them, the sheriff’s department is concentrating on routine public safety threats and criminal matters that they can effectively handle.
